On the next episode of SmackDown, Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins are gearing up to confront The Bloodline following The Rock’s challenge.
The People’s Champion challenged Rhodes and Rollins to a tag team match against himself and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40.
While Rhodes and Rollins discussed the challenge on the latest episode of RAW, they haven’t confirmed their acceptance or rejection yet. To address this, they are scheduled to make an appearance on SmackDown this week.
However, their presence might bring more than just a response to The Rock’s challenge.
There’s speculation that Rhodes and Rollins could be accompanied by Jey Uso on SmackDown. Jey has unresolved issues with Jimmy Uso, who cost him both the World Title and the Intercontinental Championship.
This potential alliance could escalate tensions within The Bloodline, potentially leading to a clash between Jey and Jimmy at WrestleMania 40.
Former WWE writer Vince Russo weighed in on The Rock’s recent promos targeting Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
He suggested that The Rock’s unscripted promos serve as a test of the duo’s popularity and crowd reaction. Russo implied that The Rock is challenging Rhodes and Rollins to prove their status within the WWE hierarchy.
The ongoing uncertainty surrounding The Rock’s alignment adds an intriguing layer to the WrestleMania 40 buildup. While his current promos position him as a heel, a potential betrayal of Roman Reigns could shake up the dynamics heading into the event.
As tensions continue to simmer between The Bloodline and their potential challengers, fans eagerly await the next development in this unfolding saga.
The upcoming episode of SmackDown promises to provide clarity on Rhodes and Rollins’ response to The Rock’s challenge and could set the stage for further drama leading up to WrestleMania 40.
